ZilLearn Announces New Teaching and Learning
Network Service
ZilLearn, a teaching and learning networking
service, joined more than 800 educators and
experts in the EduTech space at the inaugural
EdTechX Online Summit 2020 from 13-14 May 2020.
Founder and CEO of ZilLearn, David Yeo, has been
invited as a keynote speaker to address the
impact of Covid-19 The Disruptor of Education
and Work. In conjunction with the summit, we're
excited to announce the release of ZilLearn, a
global platform for the creation of
semi-structured and structured user-generated
knowledge content. ZilLearn, an AI-driven
platform, is packed with smart features and tools
that is aimed at creating a global community of
teachers, knowledge experts, collaborators,
learners, organizations enterprises onto one
technology. In his keynote presentation, David
Yeo shared how post Covid-19 will see a surge in
the consolidation of learning tools and resources
and the importance of
2
technology in the transformation of teaching and
learning experiences. With more than 20 years in
the EdTech industry, David also shared how the
next generation of technology solutions need to
overcome the key educational barriers -
scalability, accessibility and adaptability. His
presentation is available on this
blog. Supporting Educators during this Global
Pandemic ZilLearn will support schools and
educators who are looking for a more integrated,
seamless and user-friendly solution to transition
from in-class teaching to virtual classrooms.
Instead of adopting multiple apps and platforms
to deliver a course, educators can build their
own channel on ZilLearn to create and publish
courses that include texts, images, videos (with
the option to integrate PowerPoint slides), audio
files, quizzes and assignments. ZilLearn will be
offering its Standard Plan (valued at
USD12.99/mth) to all registered teachers for free
till 31 December 2020. ZilLearn is also providing
on-boarding support for educators to quickly
create and publish their courses and lessons.

Key Differentiators Channel-based teaching Course
creators using ZilLearn will have the ability to
teach their immediate community and outside of
their community through their personalized
channels. This will give them the options to
monetize their course to increase their revenue
stream or the opportunity to contribute to the
community. Adopt/Adapt Courses ZilLearn's unique
Adopt/Adapt technology will enable the
localization and re-publishing of original
courses amongst educators. Courses will be
readily available for sharing on a global scale
and significantly reduces the time and cost in
creating content whilst ensuring the original IP
remains authentic. "Imagine a course that was
created by a teacher in the UK that can be
adapted by a fellow teacher in Indonesia for her
students. She'll be able to translate the content
from English into Bahasa Indonesia. Adding local
context and examples, and sharing her own version
of this content with her students. Subsequently,
another teacher in a different state in
4
Indonesia could then use this content and makes
it available to his students, and so on and so
forth," said Yeo. "ZilLearn has a wide range of
application, not only to educators. It will
revolutionize how traditional elearning content
is built by allowing anyone including NGOs,
enrichment centres, self-employed coaches and
trainers, to create quality content at the speed
of the Internet. We want to make it available in
areas where internet connectivity is still
limited. Today, more than ever, we are allowed to
collaborate as a global community in sharing
knowledge," said Yeo. The Adopt/Adapt feature
will be available from Q4 2020. Learn
